Abstract
The modern roots of restorative justice in Ireland go back to the mid-1990s, when first mediation initiatives with juveniles started. Restorative justice is available as a disposal for both adults and juveniles who commit crime. However, only restorative programmes within the juvenile justice system have a statutory basis and operate at a national level in Ireland.
